The Solgården Pavilion is located in the south of Norway on the island Nøtterøy. It is perched beside a rocky outcrop that is enveloped by a palette of lush greenery, trees and the sounds of wildlife.
The structure is framed with sturdy Norwegian timber that will age into a subtle grey hue with the passage of time. Adjustable teak screens recycled from Copenhagen, Denmark provide protection from the wind, while allowing for the penetration of warm sunlight. A beautiful gradient of gridded shadows are cast through them, shifting with the sun throughout the day.
On particularly warm days in the summer when the sun is high and glowing in the sky, a locally handmade sail drapes over the dining table to shield against direct sunlight, simultaneously emitting a soft glow through the semi-translucent canvas.
